the other week i filled my overflow bottle to the full mark and like 2 days later my low coolant light came on. Well i filled it up again and the next day the light came back on. The overflow was ran empty, so i was looking for some leak in the bottle but theres none. After i went driving i parked and looked under the car and there was coolant dripping onto the sway bar. It looks like its come down from behind the balancer, but wouldnt that be oil leaking there? My low oil light hasn't come on... It doesnt make sense, where would the coolant be coming from?

yeah i'm pretty sure its from the water pump. I wonder if its just the gasket or if the pump is cracked.

Yeah, you are likely leaking from the weep hole and your water pump is dead....change it out and you will be set.
